The Reynolds Pamphlet/Congratulations hits different when you find out IRL Angelica actually defended Hamilton and the Icarus line actually comes from her telling Eliza that she wouldn’t have suffered this public humiliation if she had married a man “less near the sun”. She also praises Alexander’s “merit, virtue and talents” in the same letter, and sympathizes with the “penalties attending the position of so amiable a man”. :/

#hamilton #hamilton musical #angelica schuyler #Angelica Schuyler church #alia talks #yes I know that historically Eliza concentrated her anger on Monroe for blackmailing her husband #And that given the time period infidelity wasn’t so much the issue as the public humiliation #Still #kinda sad that such a badass moment of female solidarity doesn’t hold up to history
